Call for Community Manager Applications 2023

[Sheikah]

FAF elections for the community manager are coming up again. Below are the details of the position and the time table for the elections.

Role and Responsibilities

The Community Manager carries the following responsibilities:

• Being a communication relay between players and contributors
• Collecting data related to the player experience
• Being present for the players and answering questions

Examples of what this could look like is as follows:

• Organize a schedule of the FAF community project events
  Gather feedback from the FAF project community to determine their top desires and problems
• Present and represent this information in the best interests of the players to the other contributors
• Be available in as many areas as possible (forums, discord, FAF) in order to both be aware of player issues while also being available to answer questions
• Keep general users aware of the state of the FAF project while also understanding what areas actually need more manpower from general users interested in contributing
• Keeping yourself aware both of gameplay trends as well as player attitude trends across all ranges of players
• Working with developers on data dumps and gathering information from data dumps to get a more refined picture of the FAF playerbase and the major issues facing them
• Being an individual that developers in general can approach for input about what would best benefit FAF

These are just ideas to get you started. As this position is new, there is no clearly defined scope where the Community Manager responsibilities start and end, so you can in part shape it according to your vision in collaboration with the FAF Association Board. Note that the community manager position is about communication and does not carry any responsibility of authority to make decisions for other areas of FAF
